Yonge street, the chief road of the County of York, starting at the great city of Toronto, terminates 38 mi.les y10l'thM'al`d, at the quaint old village of Holland Landing. Yonge street was made 128 years ago for the express punpose of connecting the future Toronto with Holland Landing. In 1795 under Governor Siuicoe the green-coated Queen's Rangers cut the road through prim- eval forest studded with great pines. A trave.ller from Toronto to Fort Vvilliam would coach up Yonge street and take the boat at Holland Land- ing for the first stage of his journey. That was the route in early days. Up to 90 years ago the trip down little Holland Lake Simcoe `to 'bateau and If-roin Holland Landing the narrow mudd'_\' River and across Orillia was thy 1832 by steanier. is a place with past. It still burns oil la.1nps. Hand -made lath bears witness to the age when the houses were erected. The railway station was `built 73 years ago.

Only two industries remain. that of ,cutting marsh hay on the neighboring flats and shipping it in caroads to Toronto for furniture`, stuffing. etc., and the shing: in-] dustry. The neighboring Holland River is rich in carp. The Newniarket Canal, that` out- rageous sink hole for millions of the taxpayers` money, is the rst object to meet the visitor's eye.

At Toronto the anchor, which measures 16 feet along its shank, 9 `feet, 7 inches in a straight line between the ukes, and weighs 4,004! pounds, was 'put aboard sleighs and taken up Yonge street to the Land-: ing for shipment to Pene'tanguishene.` where it was to be part of the equipment of a man-of-war just: building for service on Lake Huron against the Americans.

News that hostilities` were ended had just reached Upper Canada. '1`ezunsters cheerfully dumped off the anchor, which was to have been dragged to Penetang- uishene over Holland River, where} stood a log fort, and returned Ito` York. K In 1S37 Capt. A. Block, one of a survey party w01'king in the bush near the Landing. espied what. he supposed to `be a cunious gnarled tree trunk c.o\'e1`e~d with 11105.3 and almost e-mbedded in the undevbrush.

Once at least the anchor narro\\1y escaped destruction. A Toronto Jllllk dealer who said he had bought it front the council for $30 was about to remove. it when patriotic and excited Wm. Thorne rushed out and stopped him and giv- ing the dealer the $30, which the latter declared he had paid, recued the anchor from its doom. To-day tl1e. anchor rests securely in a ce- ment -base in the park `baolted by a gzrove of splendid white and l\'orwa,\' pines. Would that this out-of-the- way beauty spot, which scarcely sees one visitor 21 week were nearer Toronto. Years ago it served as a CZ1l1t,]f)Iin_L: ground -for Toronto militia and in 1872 that staunch old patriot, Alexander Muir. author of The .\la;ple Leaf, organized a pic- nic of the Newmarliet school children to thetpark and under the pine trees told them the story of the anchor and of Cz1nada.'s brave ght in 1812. It was perhaps only natural that Holland Landing should decay with| the ditninutlion of the lumber and` the competition of the near neigh- bors. Bradford and Newmarket. The deviation of the highway just below the village takes away the t.ra1c. Yet there is hope the new hi;`h\Va.,\' will send a. stream of tourist to thlis quaint village, which is one of the most picturesque and historic spots in York County.-Orillia. Pacltet.
